So here's my problem.

Example.

1. sadlfjsdf
2. sladfjsl;dk
a.


When you finish typing line two and hit return and then hit tab I do not get
an a. it actually tabs and doesn't change to the next set of numbers.

Please help.
 
Depending on version:

1. In Word 2000 and earlier: On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the
box for "Tabs and backspace set left indent."

2. In Word 2002 and 2003: On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools |
AutoCorrect Options, check the box for "Set left- and first-indent with tabs
and backspaces."

Well, you can use the Keyboard shortcut:
Alt+Shift+Right Arrow (Left Arrow to go the other direction)
or
You can go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options. Click on the AutoFormat as You
Type Tab. Make sure Set Left- and First-Indents with Tab and Backspace is
checked.
